ACCEPT THE VERDICT.

The Parrot Smelter and the cattle corral
which the committee OF the Council assume
ought to faint the water drawn from the
well OF the water company lave been right
where they are for several years. They
have had all that time to contaminate the
source OF supply by seepage. The arsenic
and the anthony OF the one md the filth
and corruption OF the other have had all
these years unimpedsd to work their sweet
will. Surely in that time they have
done the worst that they can do. Another
month. another year,, another decade
can add nothing to their communicating e.
feet. And yet the expert analytical chemist
cannot find q trace Of ilnpurity in the
water. ~pronounces it perfectly pure, free
from contamination, animal or mineral.
WHAT bosh then OF the Inter Mountain to
say that lin the next month the water
may be all contaminated It ought to be
plainly evident that the communications to
"iiich the Council Committee refers never
can have any effect on the present source OF
supply. That source was in existence
ages before either the Parrot 6melter

where they are. They have been long
enough in existence to do their worst. To
all but those wilfully blind it must be evil
dent they don't affect the Silver Bow Com
pany's water in the ~faintest degree. What
sense is there in saying that if they don't
o they may a month or a year hence?
We have the best evidence that the water
is perfectly pure now. We must therefore
conclude that it is drawn from a source OF
supply these contaminations the CON-
mittee refer to have no
access to. The Silver Bow Water Company
have gone to an expense OF thousands OF
dollars to supply this city with water which
expert testimony shows is perfectly pure
and sweet. T. does not seem either fair or
just to them to raise a cbimerical alarm
about surrounding co Examinations chat
certainly have no influence now, and by
every lair deduction can have no more in
luence in the future than they have now.
1t seems mere captiousness. It is ~injuring
the city instead OF helping it. The water
hos been pronounced perfectly pure. Why

Flogging and tying culprits' hands on the

the Governors faith in the reputed

fact is that habitual criminals cannot be
managed with any success, whether msn
women, without a resort to corporal
punishment for the extreme cases and the
ladies who relied upon the refining in

THE Council Committee lay great stress
on the opinion OF several gentlemen to
whom they submitted their views OF the
conditions surrounding the Water Com.
pany's pumping station, and naively admit
that the gentlemen regard the conditions
stated by the Committee as of minor im-
portance. The opinion is to the effect that
the surface water seeps through to the clay
bed some ten feet below. The Committee
did not have to consult anyone to make
such q discovery rs this. The source OF
contamination these gentlemen regard as
most ininical is the polluted condition u
Silver Bow creek, which, the committee
adds, flows into Blacktail creek east OF the
pumping station. The water supply is not
drawn from either Silver Bow or Biacktail
creeks. 1t comes from a living spring over
twenty feet below either, above which is a
ten-foot b d Of clay, which these gentlemen
will not deny is impermeable.

THE citizens OF Billings held their mass.
meeting on Tuesday night and protested
earnestly against the placing Of any more
Indians on the Crow Reservation than arc
there already. Tit settlers in the portion
OF Montana contiguous to the reservation
settled there in the belief that the Indians.
who are strongly disposed that way, would
be settled on a part OF the reserve in several.
tyand the remainder thrown open to white
settlement. The deportation thither OF
any other Indians would completely ftus-
trate the consummation of this e1pecta-
ton and indefinitely retard the progress OF
Esstern Montana and throw c%iviliZationin
that section back for many years. 1t is a
good time for the people OF Billings to send
q representative to Washington who could
act in concert with one recently sent from
Rapid City to urge the opening OF the Sioux
Reservation. The ruling powers of the
Northern Pacific railway are deeply con.
cerned in this movement and should lend it
all the encouragement possible through
their powerful friends in Congress-.

CINCINNATI, December AIT the opening

ed the account of his bank with the Fidelity
stating that the Fidelity's general account
showed a credit of $500, 900 while their

the special acco mt was not to be drawn

Fl FRENCH CRISIS.

President Grevy has yielded to popular
cltlnor aud has resigned the Presidency be.
:cre he has served one.third of his term:
strike all Americans is that the Republic OF
France is on an unsound basis when its
chief magistrate is subject to removal at
popular caprice. No government can be
regarded as thoroughly stable the head OF
which can be removed for anything less
than the gravest violation of his oath OF
office, which may be regarded in thu light
of treason against the Constitution. Presi.
dent Grevy has lone nothing that could
lay him open to euch q charge. He has
simply been unable to see the corruption
that was going on under his nose. When
the whisky ring disclosures of Grants Sec
Odd term burst UPON the people OF this
country with a revelation OF corruption
that included those OF the Presidential
household. President Grant rose
to the dignity of the occa-
siou, and in saying, Let no
guilty man escape" relieved
himself OF great share OF the odium OF
'i'op ga tIoCuAVs t1AlIoOSH AC q DIS TcSpOUSl"
bic as Grevy now is for the corruption
which was everywhere around him. No
one then thought OF %impeaching Grant for
the ~coriuptisn any more than did even the
excitable French seriously think OF impeach
ing Grevy. 1he fact OF the matter is that
Grevy is too ~easy-soing a man to grasp
the situation. He made the fatal error
when the Caffarel decoration scandals were
ound to involve his %son-in-law Wilson of
refusing to credit them and endeavoring to
shield his daughters husband. Had he
copied the attitude ofGrant, it would have
been better for him. On the contrary, he
cast his lot with his son-in-law against uni
versal opinion based on irrefragable proof
and was dragged down in the mire with
that rascally relative.

The MINER was in error yesterday in
stating that incorporation was rejected at
the polls last spring. 1t was discovered be-
fore the election was held that the petition
asking for it contained many names Of per-
sons whs had not the requisite quail
fcations, and that it lacked the neces-
sary number OF legal petitioners. The
flaws in the act then proposed to be voted
upon, which we're pointed out by The
MINER, were remedied Mt the extra session
and the amended act being free from the
objections then urged by this paper it is
now supported with the same energy that
the previous act was opposed. The MINER
never opposed incorporation as such. It
ia in favor OF every feature OF progress for
the benefit OF the city.

TIE Salt Lake Tribune suggests that the
silver-producing States and Territories
unite upon a plan for stopping silver coin
age but ob!iging the mint to receive and
receipt for all American silver bars pre-
sented to it. the receipts to call for silver
dollars or bars. The effect OF this would,
it thinks, be to restore silver to it's sover-
eighty, as the measure would be popular il
the West and South, and would carry
through Congress with so overwhelming a
majority that the President would be con-
strained to sign the bill.
